Repairing an ox belly on a brick wall

Request a quote

Do you notice a bump or swelling on the masonry wall of your facade? Does the brickwork on your facade seem to be coming loose? Your building is probably suffering from a problem commonly known as underbelly.

This is a masonry problem that needs to be repaired quickly. Left untreated, potbellies can lead to wall collapse. Professional bricklayers should be called in as soon as the problem appears.

The causes of pot belly are often linked to water infiltration between the building structure and the brick or stone facing, or to deterioration of the mortar and joints. Then, with the change of season, water infiltration swells with frost. In some cases, the wall has to be rebuilt.

To remedy the situation, we first demolish the brick or stone wall. Finally, we install the new brick or stone. However, if the quantity involved is small and the brick or stone is still in good condition, we can clean it and reinstall it.
